Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 16:40

40 And they shall bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee thorow with their swords.

The King of Babylon, and his Counsellors, and Captains.

An assembled Army, you had your Assemblies for your Idol worship, and I will have also an Assembly, but it shall be of Chaldaeans, Hab. 1.6. and others, to destroy you for your Idolatry.

The punishment by stoning was not inflicted on the condemned, but in the sight of the Congregation; so here is a Congregation of many Nations, before whom this just Judgment of God shall be executed on this Adulteress. It intimates the manner of battering of the Walls of Ierusalem, with stones cast out of their Engines.

When the Enemy shall assault, and take the battered City, he will in his fury slay and destroy with the Sword.

'Tis so called theirs, because it might mind the Israelites, that the destruction wou'd be with the Sword of a cruel one, of either an old professed Enemy, or a new revoked Friend.
